Galaxy Note 5 vs. iPhone 6s Plus vs. LG V10: The snow camera field test

25 January, 2016
When you are pinned in the city, winter hardly feels like a pleasant season. But once you step outside of the city’s boundaries, the sweeping vistas of the snowy slopes make for some of the best photo opportunities...

Disappointed report from GSM Arena...

The conclusion ate the end of the report is not clear and didn't clarify the Pros or Cons. of each device as I expected.
Saying "If you are pixel peeping, you may find few pros and cons on each, but at the end of the day, none of this will matter when sharing on social networks as they downsize the images anyway." This saying at the end of report is like the report is not worth it because I still don't know who is the best and what difference between these devices.

    AnonD-355406, 26 Jan 2016I've opened every photo in a different tab without knowing ... moreexacly like the blind test from the episode before this.
    V10 is amazing at every scenario, not to mention its manual capability.

        AnonD-100398, 26 Jan 2016Note5 Ft.w period.... except that Samsung only offers the GN5 with 32GB of storage to many regions.

        I thought this was 2016 not 2009 Samsung??

          i don't know why others don't do the same. not everybody is happy to have tablet in his pocket.

            Hey this is a shame. If you're gonna a medium to explain features of a phone. At least know that the volume button on the LG V10 will take a picture so. its the best for the winter wonderland shots, it works with gloves or bare hands, even lol a stick.

            Please do a better job next time.

              AnonD-234961, 26 Jan 2016Carrying a powerbank is as confortable as herpes.And having to charge two devices when back home, don't forget. Really, sealed batteries *is* phone cancer. In that front V10 wins hands down just because merely carrying a spare lets it have much more battery capacity than any of its competitors

                        The LG V10 also has options to capture photos without touching the screen.
                        1.Activate cheese shutter from camera options menu.
                        2.Use the back mounted volume rocker to capture the photo.
                        3.You guys must try before you say that only galaxy note 5 can do so!

                          This cameratest, this article is disappointing. It is missing the most importan thing: low light camera test. It should include landscape night photos of a city, in auto and night mode too and indoor photos of a dark room with the LED flash.

                            V10 has so amazing results, at least some company guessed how to make hardware+software functional together and effectively !

                                  I've opened every photo in a different tab without knowing the phone i was looking. My first choice out of 9/15 photos was the V10 and the other 6 was the samsung. then the iphone and last the mate8. But i have to say that the lumia 950 (despite that i dont like windows os on phones) has the best camera that i've ever used! my opinion..

                                    "The Live Photos feature also provides an innovative way of capturing short, action-packed video scenes on the slopes.".... apparently it's innovative... still it's ages and ages old.
